ALW on AI tomorrow night... — Page 2

Just for fun, did any of you ever see this X Factor contestant (a UK talent show also judged by Simon Cowell) called Rhydian sing Phantom? I believe ALW has actually offered him the role in the West End:

I don't really get any of those contestants. Though I did like the Castro kid singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and I do like David Cook's arrangements. Everyone I know has a thing for David Archuleta, I think he has an okay voice but overdoes everything he sings, kid has no idea what the word subtext means.

Yeah, none of them really thrill me. I do like Brook White though.

No Evita songs! I can't listen to them off-key!

I personally think no one should sing "Superstar" it's not a good sing to show off your voice, since they still have to do a short version of the songs, that chorus is long and boreing and the main singer has little to do in the chorus.

I can see David Cook (if he wants to do something from Superstar) doing Heaven on their minds or even the one Simon does (cant remember the title) I dont think any of them should atempt gesthemanie (sp)

as for Castro, I thought "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" would be great for him.

Sayesha (sp) should do memory

Carly should stick to "I dont know how to love him"

as for David A. It may sound crazy, but for a while now I thought a nice R&B sultry soul version of Music of the Night could work well (think of if Usher or someone like that were to redo it)

Either way I just hope the night does not flop like the last time they had a Broadway night.

I am sure Simon will have alot to say tonight (since basically none of the songs are popular in mainstream culture)

My predictions:

Jason, Sayesha, David A, and Brooke will suck.

David Cooke and Carly will be great.

I'm on to the pattern...........

I've never watched the show, but I would be really impressed if someone actually picked a more obscure Webber song. In other words, nothing from "Cats." I might have a mild heart attack if one of the contestants picked something from Woman in White or Song and Dance.

Apparently 3 people were fighting over one song, and they had to do a coin toss and Jason got it. I bet it was for Any Dream Will Do.

I want David A. to sing Close Every Door.

And Kristy had been slated to sing Don't Cry For Me, Argentina. Thank god she was kicked off.

Alliez...where did you hear the stuff about the coin toss and Kristy?

Browsing the American Idol official message boards and the livejournal community. I was trying to look for spoilers.

From the lj community, "Note before I begin that there's a spoiler floating around that says that three contestants were ready to fight to the death for one song, and they drew straws and Castro got it."

The thought of country twang Evita does make me giggle a bit though. :) It least would've been an entertaining trainwreck.

Looking to something more obscure, I think Brooke would do well with "Last Man In my Life" at the piano. She would also do well with "Nothing like I;ve ever Known" but that would probably put the average audience to sleep.

Was hopeing that somehow, on tomorow's show the cast does something from this Phantom 2 thing.
